I don't see the sense of making fun here. Very petty.

Okay. To be blunt: The Nationals suck. 11 to 1? Gee whiz. I've seen little league teams that played more professionally.

Is it any surprise?

I don't think that any "spin" need be added to this event; everyone can just say "Wow, that is the worst excuse for a pitch by an adult male in history"!

His throwing ability is an embassament to all who love the game of baseball
